Exploring Trauma+: A Brief Intervention for Men and Gender-Diverse People (2nd Edition)
[Covington, S., Pugh, S., and Rodriguez, R. (2016, rev 2021). Center City, MN: Hazelden Publishing]
This newly revised evidence-based six-session trauma intervention is designed for people who have experienced abuse and trauma. Our understanding of gender has shifted from the binary male-female model to a more inclusive and expansive model. This second edition of Exploring Trauma is now entitled Exploring Trauma+: A Brief Intervention for Men and Gender-Diverse People in order to reflect the changes in this new edition. We have expanded the definition of gender responsive to include the experiences of transgender and nonbinary people. This new material has inclusive pronouns, as well as examples of traumatic events and focus questions specific to this group.
The materials focus on the three core things that both staff and clients need: an understanding of what trauma is, its process, and its impact on both the inner self (thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values) and the outer self (behavior and relationships). With a deepening understanding of the impact of trauma, clinicians are beginning to recognize specific issues for men, trans and nonbinary people. These include the silence that surrounds men's abuse, the impact of male socialization on someone’s response to abuse, the risk of victims becoming victimizers, and the need to understand fear and shame. This material can also be used for training staff on the gender-responsive issues related to trauma.
The facilitator's guide and participant's workbook are on a flash drive which allows for easy duplication. The workbook is written in both English and Spanish. There is introductory material on trauma for the facilitator and then detailed instructions (specific lesson plans) for the sessions. It is particularly designed for settings requiring a brief intervention, such as jails, community corrections, and addiction treatment programs.
